One lucky at-home fan can win one million
Wyndham Rewards points
GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Rewards®, the world's most generous
rewards program spanning more than 50,000 hotels, vacation club
resorts and vacation rentals, returns to Sedgefield Country Club
this week as proud title sponsor of the 83rd annual
Wyndham Championship, bringing with it the chance for fans at the
course and at home to win their share of over 100 million Wyndham
Rewards points.
"The Wyndham Championship is one of the most fan-friendly stops
on the PGA TOUR, and we want this year's tournament to be more
rewarding than ever before," said Lisa
Checchio, chief marketing officer at Wyndham Hotels &
Resorts. "From points for free night giveaways at the tournament to
a chance to win one million Wyndham Rewards points just by watching
at home, fans this year won't just be dreaming about getting away
with Wyndham, they can actually win the points to do it!"
A Return to Points Paradise
Broadcasting on Golf
Channel and CBS, this year's Wyndham Championship will transport
fans to a tropical, vacation-themed oasis. Signature course
elements like Club Wyndham Beach and the tournament's iconic sand
sculpture are back and joined by fan favorite spots like
Margaritaville at the Wyndham, the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card
Club, the USO Patriots Outpost presented by Truist and Heroes
Vacation Club and more.
Also back this year is the Wyndham Rewards Points Paradise
Pavilion. Thursday through Sunday, fans are invited to participate
in a four-day interactive digital scavenger hunt that will have
them searching course grounds for Wyndham Rewards branded QR codes.
Using their mobile phones, fans will scan each code they find,
unlocking Wyndham Rewards points along the way. The more codes they
scan, the more points they'll unlock—up to a four-day total of
15,000 points—enough for a weekend away at thousands of Hotels by
Wyndham. Kids are invited to play as well for a chance to win
instant prizes.
At-home fans in the U.S. can also get in on the fun by
participating in this year's watch and win experience, earning up
to 3,000 points—enough for a discounted hotel stay at thousands of
hotels—with a chance to win the grand prize: one million Wyndham
Rewards points. To play, all fans need to do is tune into the
tournament Saturday on CBS and keep an eye out for one of three
larger-than-life, road-trip themed, sand sculptures. Upon spotting
any one of the sculptures, they should head to WyndhamRewards.com,
where they can click on the Points Paradise banner and indicate on
which hole they spotted the sculpture. The first 5,000 at-home fans
to log on and answer correctly will earn 3,000 Wyndham Rewards
points while one-lucky fan will be randomly selected to win one
million Wyndham Rewards points. No purchase is necessary to enter
or win.
Millions of points will be available to claim for both of the
above activations and fans must be members of Wyndham Rewards,
which is free-to-join, to claim any earned rewards. Wyndham Rewards
points will be distributed approximately 7-10 days post tournament
and must be claimed by October 31,
2022. For more details on both of the above activations,
including full terms and conditions, visit

Wyndham Championship Fore! Good
Creating positive
impact in the community is a hallmark of the Wyndham Championship,
and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good—the tournament's signature
philanthropic platform—helps give back to worthy causes in central
North Carolina and beyond.
This year, in support of Wyndham Championship Fore! Good, when a
PGA TOUR golfer makes birdie or better on the 15th,
16th or 17th hole during the third and fourth
rounds on Saturday and Sunday, Wyndham Rewards will donate
$500 to one of the Championship's
signature charities via "Birdies Fore Backpacks." In addition,
Thursday through Sunday, should a PGA TOUR golfer make a
hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole, Wyndham Rewards will
donate an additional 250,000 Wyndham Rewards points to all four
signature charities, for a combined total of one million Wyndham
Rewards points.
Through Birdies Fore Backpacks, Wyndham Rewards works with local
organizations—Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks, Out of the
Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point—to help feed
children from low-income families around the Piedmont Triad region
of North Carolina. Backpacks are packed
with nutritionally-sound meals, which families take home every
weekend. Just $5 can feed one child
for a weekend while $150 can feed a
child for a school year. Since its creation in 2014, the program
has provided more than 750,000 meals to thousands of local
families.
The Wyndham Championship runs through Sunday, Aug. 7. Teachers, first responders and
members of the military are invited to attend for free along with a
guest after submitting proper registration. To learn more, or to
purchase tickets, visit www.wyndhamchampionship.com.
